This document describes a validation example for the PISA design method, implemented in PLAXIS MoDeTo, for monopiles embedded in dense sand. This validation example is based on the soil conditions at the Dunkirk site that was employed during the PISA project. The calibrated PLAXIS MoDeTo model is shown to provide a close representation of the performance of a pile with arbitrary dimensions, within the calibration space.
